Spare Ribs & Hobo Potatoes

[thirdeye]

The day before our big snow storm hit I decided to barbecue some ribs, and for a side I made some hobo potatoes, (aka Boy Scout potatoes, or campfire potatoes) which are a mix of potatoes, onions, garlic, butter and about anything else, and cooked in a foil pouch.

Starting off on the kettle at around 275° indirect. The rubs were Cimarron Doc's, and Birds & Bones.


Pit time was around 3 hours with a few sprays of apple cider vinegar.
Wrapping was with a little buter, some peach jalapeno BBQ sauce and a little pinot grigio wine, and this step took a little oven an hour.

I did par boil the potatoes to shorten the baking time.

Great looking plate. It's funny how it took me 20+ years to realize that 2 or 3 ribs is a serving, not 8 to 10.

Grate deal
Wife requested foil taters often. Toss with a little garlic rosemary seasoning.

All that for only 2 ribs? Load that plate up and enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Not sure how I missed this, but those ribs look like competition quality to my untrained eyes! Awesome!

I haven't had those in forever, well probably since I was in the Scouts. Thanks for reminding me...
